A computer chip processes and stores information using two different devices. If engineers could combine these devices into one or put them next to each other, then there would be more space on a chip, making it faster and more powerful. They also got chocolate in their peanut butter

Based on the realisation that anyone who says that transistors process information doesn't have a bloody clue what he's talking about, I'm giving this one a miss.

The recent firing of a Google employee demonstrates how you relinquish your privacy—and private data, including personal photos—when you put work accounts on your personal device. Mi teléfono, su teléfono

That almost certainly would be illegal in the UK. In fact I believe we even have privacy for personal emails sent through work systems. Any country that makes it legal for your work to wipe your personal phone unless you have given explicit informed consent has seriously flawed laws.

I would say, it has different laws.
This is not so difficult to understand when you consider the point of view "companies are more important than people"
Anything I would write beyond this point, would require the soapbox back, so I will spare my additional comments

Glad that I read this, and I feel much better now being a jerk and making my employers utilize their own resources instead of me providing my phone.
My career employer uses Active Directory and Office 365. They wanted me to install MS app for Multi-Factor-Authentication. They didn't want to pay my phone bill though, or provide a phone for me to use.
As a result of this, the AD team had to correct everyone's accounts so that MFA could use people's desk phones. A problem happened when the marketing team got a hold of the IVR (automated operator) system and changed the direct dial number. Oops
Now my part time employer (I works 1 day monthly) wants me to put in their ADP payroll app AND some "Hot Schedules" app. That ain't happening either.
I have read the "permissions" for both MS & ADP and they both want my pictures, contacts, location... And the "schedule" app wants blutooth.

+1 BYOD is a minefield just waiting for either the company or the user to make the wrong step. If companies want to force employees to use their phones for work, they should be paying for them (and likely buying them as well, so they can support them).

Avast, the multibillion-dollar Czech security company, doesn’t just make money from protecting its 400 million users’ information. It also profits in part because of sales of users’ Web browsing habits and has been doing so since at least 2013. Ye scurvy dogs!

Still not giving up my hoodie. I'll just remain incompetent, thanks (not that a suit would change anything)

Plenty of software development technology has gone through a huge shift in the past few years. It's that time of the year again
But this time, we're looking forward with 2020 vision!
Yeah, that joke is lame already, and it's not even 2020 yet.

I guess they have stolen enough to build their own stuff now. 
Coincidentally, today whilst reviewing my webserver logs, I noticed abuse and looked up the IP...yep, another Beijing host...now blocked! Quit mucking up my server logs! 
To be fair, only 90% of the hacking attempts originate in China. Russia is the other hacker nation.

Whether or not they originate there is a matter worth investigating.
If I wanted to hack someone, I'd go through a Beijing server, too -- anonymity through obscurity, and all that.

Makes sense to me.
I don't trust ms, google, amazon, etc. either, and would be very happy if Europe could dump absolutely every piece of spyware software made by them.

When support for Windows 7 ends on Jan. 14, Microsoft will also stop providing new malware signatures for its home-grown Security Essentials software. They'd really, really, really appreciate it if you "upgraded" to Win10

It will be an end of an era at Microsoft next week, an era that may have divided the company and the tech community far too long. They will no longer be 'Live Tiles'
